The Companion project by The-Vibe-Company is an open-source web-based UI for interacting with Claude Code, offering a fully graphical interface to launch sessions, stream responses, and approve or deny AI tool usage—all via web browsers on desktop or mobile. Instead of working solely through a command-line interface, developers and creators can start, manage, and visualize Claude Code sessions in a modern web environment built with TypeScript, enabling more natural interaction with AI models. The UI displays structured responses, shows conversation history, and offers controls for managing tool calls and permissions during an AI session, bringing a more polished and intuitive experience than terminal-based workflows. Because it uses a reverse-engineered WebSocket protocol, Companion can deliver real-time streaming responses in the browser, making it feel responsive and interactive.
